School for me has always been a fun experience. Some people love high school, and some people hate it and can’t wait to leave. I didn’t realize how much I loved it up until the last month or so of my senior year. i loved so many aspects of my high school. i created amazing bonds with my teachers and fellow students, grew both physically and mentally, and I found a large part of myself in those 4 years. I was so excited for college, ready for a new chapter of my life but I couldn’t fathom letting go of all of the people I knew and the places that I have grown to rely on and build comfort in. I really expanded my horizons in high school by participating in many clubs and extracurricular activities, making friends, bonding with teachers, and learning my calling and also growing my mind. High school was my safe haven for many reasons, and the memories I made there have changed who I am forever.
I’ve always been the kind of person who just enjoys learning. I love forming bonds, especially with teachers and reading about old poetry and new novels, all of it. But, just like any other typical teenage girl, I have things that upset me too. There was one teacher in my high school career who I felt that I could go to for anything. Not only did she become someone very near and dear to my heart, but she was also my toughest critic, and was never afraid to tell me when i was wrong. It was a crazy scenario because she was brutally honest and very sassy sometimes, but she and I created a bond that without it, high school would have been a much harder slope for me.
It all started my freshmen year, when I stepped into my first math class. There was my fellow classmates, all who I have seen before and was friendly with, my teacher (who seemed nice, she was very young) and an older girl writing funny sayings and drawing silly pictures on the board. When the class settled in, the teacher introduced herself. “I am Miss Boroczky” she said, “but you can call me-“. Right as she was about to say it, the older girl that was writing on the board turned around and screamed “ Miss Beeeeeeeeee!” The whole class laughed, and that is when my teacher introduced us to Gigi, our Teachers Assistant for the class. Gigi and I ended up becoming really close friends and she helped to bring out a crazy and giggly side of Miss B that no one else got to see. Since Gigi and I were so close, I ended up forming the same kind of bond with Miss B, and this bond lasted me throughout my high school career. I ended up having Miss B as a teacher for freshmen, sophomore and senior year of high school and being in her classroom everyday regardless of if i even had class with her that day or not.
Miss B would help me with schoolwork if I needed help, or if I was having a problem with another teacher or a friend, I was never afraid to go to her. Most other people saw her as nice-ish, but a scary teacher with an attitude. Don’t get me wrong, she was a scary teacher with an attitude, but she told me how it was and I knew she was really looking out for me. The kind of bond I formed with Miss B is part of the reason that I wanted to become a high school teacher, because I figured the conversations are better than those in middle school or elementary school, and i wanted to help students in the way she helped me. She was by far my toughest critic, but she always kept me grounded. Both Miss B and Gigi helped me so much in my 4 years of high school. Not only was Miss B there as my friend, but she also pushed me to be the best student that i could be. It helped me as a student to be that close with a teacher, because she knew my style of learning and my strengths and weaknesses and helped to show me different ways i could study and learn certain subjects. Miss B and Gigi were always my "guiding hand" in high school and i like to think that they helped me be where i am today, both mentally and physically (in college).
I have always loved English, but I also love math too. I wasn’t sure which I wanted to go into for teaching. Miss B made me love math my first two years of high school, and my English teachers were mediocre at best. My freshmen year English teacher was truly a spawn of Satan, and my sophomore year English teacher was boring, so it was safe to say at that point that i was leaning towards math. My junior year of high school, I had an English teacher named Mr. LaChance and he changed English for me forever. He was a laid back, older guy who just absolutely loved what he did. He taught like no one I have ever seen before, but I had some of the best conversations of my life in that class. He graded tough, and he gave lots of assignments, but at the end of the year, I had learned more than any English class had ever taught me. Mr. LaChance and I became close as well, and I feel like we understand each other quite well. His class is the reason I wanted to become an English teacher. He saw something in me... potential; something that most people often overlook in me. I had never before had a teacher who gave me so much hope and made me feel important. Mr. LaChance gave me the greatest gift i have ever received... he believed in me. He made me feel like i was good at something, which i had never really felt before, and i found that by the end of the year, i learned more than i ever had in any other class.
My friends in high school were awesome. Like in any case, friends come and go. Gigi and I became close in my first year, so it was hard for me when she went off to college, but I got by. Some girls are mean in high school, they talk behind your back and do mean things to you. I tried my best to avoid it, but for some reason, drama is drawn to me. Either way, I made it by. My best friend since birth is actually here at URI with me, and it is nice to know that there is a little piece of home here with me. The friends and memories I made in high school are unforgettable, and I will miss it.
I was involved in many clubs and activities in high school. I kept myself busy and tried out a multitude of activities to see what I liked, but it turns out, I like them all. I was involved in the unicycle club, Community service clubs, soup kitchen visits, relay for life, bake sales, food drives, writing club, lacrosse, basketball, I did it all. I kept myself busy and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Overall, high school was great. I really think that I found a part of myself in those halls. I laughed, I cried, I stressed and I hung out and I will never forget a second of what I learned or who I met. I'm not going to lie, no part of my success in my high school career has been easy by any stretch, but i really think i benefited from having to be strong and believe in myself. Often times, high school for me was unpleasant, but it was overall a positive experience that has been with me and helped me grow through the good and the bad times. It is hard to leave a place that is so familiar to me, but it is time for a new chapter of my life and I am excited to see what I will learn and who i will bond with at URI!
